The intermediate filter bottom consists of a stainless steel sheet, in which the plastic nozzles are installed. The nozzles prevent the filter media from escaping in the filtered water, and are also a guarantee for an even and controlled backwash of the total filter media. The filter is designed for backwash with air scour, air/water and water. Different filter medias, dosing equipment and aeration accessories can be used to treat the actual raw water the best way. The height of the filters allows for reasonably long detention time, which contributes to the very good performance of the filter. Technical information Capacities are valid for newly backwashed sand filters and are calculated for a filter velocity of 7 m3/m2 and backwash velocity 45 m3/m2.
